Bitcoin price consolidates above $83,500 on Tuesday as MicroStrategy doubles down on BTC after a lull performance in Q1 2025. With institutional confidence as analysts forecast a parabolic BTC rally toward $90,000.
Saylor’s announces another $285M Bitcoin purchase after reporting losses for Q1 2025
Strategy (Formerly MicroStrategy) founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor has once again reinforced commitment to the infamous Bitcoin strategy this week. Despite lackluster market performance so far in 2025, Saylor announced the purchase of an additional $285 million worth of BTC on Monday.
Notably, the latest purchase comes a week after firm’s reported a staggering $6 billion on its Bitcoin purchases in Q1 2025.

According to data from SaylorTracker, the firm spent $7.6 billion on BTC purchases since the start of the year, with unrealized loss reaching $6 billion as BTC price plunged below $80,000 last week, under pressure from US trade war.
As seen in the chart above, the latest buy brings MicroStrategy’s acquired 3,459 BTC for an approximate price of $285.5 million on Monday. This brings the firm’s total BTC holdings above 531,664 at press time valued at a $44 billion. Despite the short-term losses in Q1, the firm is posting $8.4 billion gains on its total holdings, reflecting 24% profit.
This aggressive accumulation comes at a pivotal moment for Bitcoin, which is currently consolidating near the $83,000 mark following a high of nearly $85,000 when hawkish US CPI reports sparked a brief buying frenzy last week.
Bitcoin price forecast suggests bullish continuation toward $87,000 after reclaiming short-term control above the mid-Bollinger Band ($82,505). BTC is trading near $83,855, finding support above this midline, signaling increasing upward pressure. The Bollinger Bands have slightly constricted, indicating a potential breakout.
BTC price hovering above the median line of the bands implies bullish dominance in the short term, especially with the upper band around $87,142 acting as the next major resistance.
Bitcoin Price Forecast
On the MACD, the blue signal line has crossed decisively above the orange baseline, and histogram bars remain positive and rising. This bullish crossover and growing momentum suggest upward acceleration. Should bulls clear $85,000 convincingly, Bitcoin could surge to test the $87,000 resistance.
Conversely, a close below the $82,500 level could reintroduce bearish momentum, exposing BTC to the lower band support at $77,867. However, the current structure leans bullish with momentum favoring higher highs.
Pi Coin is currently trading at $0.63, marking a 2% decline in the last 24 hours. After reaching a local high back in February, the price has since experienced a sharp drop and now appears stuck in a sideways trading range. The key resistance level remains at $0.70, a level Pi Coin has attempted to break several times with no success. If this threshold is breached, it could open the door to further gains, potentially above $0.80.
However, the lack of clear market catalysts makes a breakout uncertain. Ongoing token unlocks—reportedly in the millions daily—are adding constant supply pressure, which has further dampened momentum. On April 22, 4.9M Pi Coin tokens are set to unlock.
Whale Activity Sparks Interest
Despite the stagnant price action, Pi Coin is seeing major whale activity. A massive $7.5 million PI, valued at $4.82 million, was just withdrawn from OKX and transferred to a private wallet. This move follows several similar transactions in recent days. In total, the whale has acquired over $48 million PI, now worth an estimated $31 million.
Such high-volume accumulation often draws market attention and can be a bullish signal, especially if institutional or large private investors are positioning ahead of expected developments.
Long-Term Outlook Shows Potential
Looking ahead, Pi Coin still holds promise. According to projections from CoinCodex, the coin is expected to trade between $0.63 and $2.16 throughout April 2025, depending on market conditions. The forecast implies a potential return on investment (ROI) of 238.31%, driven largely by growing expectations of major exchange listings and broader adoption.

Several ecosystems will make headlines this week as part of the top crypto news list. Knowing about these events in advance can help traders and investors position their portfolios strategically to capitalize on the expected price movement.
Based on crypto’s adage to buy the rumor and sell the news situation or event, traders and investors can front-run the following events this week.
The Bitcoin Act Bill to Buy 1 Million BTC
The BITCOIN Act of 2025 is the top crypto news story this week. Introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis, the bill proposes the US Treasury acquire 1 million Bitcoin (BTC) over five years to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, mirroring the scale of US gold reserves.
“Sen Lummis says Trump backs Bitcoin act—bill to buy 1M BTC hits floor next week,” Crypto Goos reported.
Reintroduced in March 2025, the bill gained traction after President Trump’s executive order supporting a federal Bitcoin reserve. The act mandates secure, decentralized storage across the US, with a 20-year minimum holding period and transparency via proof-of-reserve (PoR) audits.
Funding would come from Federal Reserve (Fed) remittances and revaluing gold certificates. While Trump’s backing boosts momentum, passage remains uncertain due to legislative hurdles and debates over fiscal impact.
If passed, it could position Bitcoin as a formal reserve asset, potentially driving a price surge. It would also reinforce US financial leadership.
“By codifying this effort into law, we can ensure that our nation leverages digital assets to strengthen our financial future while maintaining its global leadership,” Senator Lummis said in a statement.
As of this writing, Bitcoin traded for $105,082, up by 0.69% in the last 24 hours.
Infinex’s Airdrop for KAITO Stakers
Another top crypto news story this week concerns Infinex. The multi-chain crypto platform announced a significant airdrop for KAITO stakers.
“For those of you staking KAITO, the airdrop will occur next week. We recommend you have your Genesis NFTs in the same wallet as your sKAITO, as the snapshot will happen soon,” Infinex wrote in a post.
The airdrop follows a $6 million token distribution in May 2025, which propelled Infinex to the top spot on Kaito’s sentiment rankings, with trading volume surging 320% to $18 million within hours.
KAITO, an AI-driven crypto analytics platform, rewards user engagement, and this crypto airdrop targets its stakers, offering tokens to boost ecosystem participation.
Infinex’s non-custodial wallet supports EVM chains and Solana, integrating staking and trading with a user-friendly interface. The airdrop aims to drive liquidity and attract speculators, though historical data suggests potential post-airdrop price volatility.
Infinex Wallet Adding Avalanche Support
Beyond crypto airdrops for KAITO stakers, Infinex will also add support for the Avalanche blockchain, expanding its multi-chain wallet capabilities.
“We have received proof of patron from Emin Gün Sirer. Avalanche incoming on Infinex next week,” wrote Infinex Kain.avax.
Emin Gün Sirer is the founder and CEO of Ava Labs and developed the Avalanche Consensus protocol underlying the Avalanche blockchain platform.
Avalanche’s high-throughput, low-latency network will enable Infinex users to trade, stake, and bridge assets seamlessly, tapping into Avalanche’s DeFi and NFT ecosystems.
Meanwhile, Infinex’s passkey-based security and gas-free transactions aim to simplify the user experience and compete with centralized exchanges (CEXs).
The integration could drive trading volume in AVAX and related tokens, with Infinex’s prior $6 million airdrop showing 320% volume spikes. Staking opportunities may also extend to Avalanche assets, attracting yield farmers.
Traders should monitor AVAX price action and Infinex’s token (INF) for potential volatility post-launch.
Ethereum’s New Initiative with Base
Also among the top crypto news this week, Ethereum is expected to announce a new initiative in collaboration with Base, Coinbase’s layer-2 scaling solution.
Base, built by Coinbase, enhances Ethereum’s scalability with low-cost, fast transactions while maintaining security. The initiative may focus on advancing DeFi or NFT ecosystems, given Base’s integration with Ethereum’s mainnet.
“Next week, in collaboration with Base and Ethereum, we are pushing a new initiative (for the culture). So look out for that,” Ethereum.org wrote on May 30.
The collaboration could involve new dApps, staking enhancements, or cross-chain interoperability, building on Base’s support for Optimism’s tech stack. This aligns with Ethereum’s broader push to improve user experience and reduce gas fees, potentially boosting adoption.
World Computer Summit
Another top crypto news this week concerns the World Computer Summit, starting Wednesday, June 3, hosted by DFINITY Foundation in Zurich, Switzerland.
Posts on X suggest that the event will feature major announcements and decentralized computing. It celebrates the fourth anniversary of the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).
“What is the World Computer Summit 2025? It’s a global gathering of builders, thinkers, visionaries reimagining the internet for a decentralized world. Held in Zurich on June 3, it marks 4 years of the Internet Computer Protocol,” wrote Miss Knighty, a popular user on X.
The summit could reveal advancements in Web3, AI, and blockchain interoperability. Projects like Internet Computer (ICP) may unveil updates on decentralized AI or global compute networks, given their focus on a “World Computer” vision.

Past summits have driven market activity, with tokens like ICP seeing surges post-announcements. As of this writing, ICP traded for $4.93, up nearly 1% in the last 24 hours.
$46 Million TAIKO Unlock
Meanwhile, with key token unlocks to watch this week, the Ethereum-based L2 scaling solution, Taiko, will unlock $46 million worth of TAIKO tokens on June 5. This unlock will constitute over 69% of its circulating supply.
Taiko’s total supply is 1 billion, with 241 million tokens currently circulating. The unlock of 21.84 million tokens, valued at $42 million in August 2024, suggests a rising token price. With 81.55 million TAIKO tokens unlocked on Thursday, volatility is expected, especially if recipients cash in for early gains.
NotabThesens will be allocated to investors, protocol guild airdrop, and Taiko Labs, constituting the core team.
